Fetus Has More Than 260 Facebook Friends
Filed under: In The News
Using paper announcements and photo albums to document a birth are so 2010. To spread the word of their pregnancy, Ellie and Matt Greene started a Facebook profile for their unborn baby, Marriah.
The Texas couple sent friend requests and the fetus had more than 100 friends in just one day. To date, her friends number 260.
The mom-to-be updates the page from the point of view of Marriah and people respond directly to her, especially when she tells friends she is kicking Mommy. "Oh, do somersaults this way," one friend suggests.
Marriah's parents have gotten creative, adding that Marriah attends Tummy University.
The page is not just for entertainment and laughs, however.
"We wanted to keep the page going, so she could go back and look at it," Ellie Greene tells KLTV, adding that she and her husband will continue to update the page to share her birth story.

James Emert said...Doesn't this violate the Facebook age policy? Regardless, I'm highly opposed to any minor having a Facebook profile. There are just too many problems. And I'm not referring to the paranoia of the timid who are afraid of their own shadows. I’m referring to the legal and professional sites that I’ve read that suggest serious concerns, including the lack of judgment that minors show in releasing their data.

Jessa said...Does she REALLY have 260 friends? Do you REALLY have how many friends you have? Anyone else get that message from facebook saying like 58% of your "friends" are bots?

J V L said...I do wish that people would stop saying that "the baby is in my tummy." It's not.
The baby is in your uterus, not your stomach.
You are GESTATING, not DIGESTING.
Saying the baby is in your tummy evokes images of Sigourney Weaver, et al watching John Hurt's gut explode with an alien species emerging, teeth bared and screeching.
